For the end of the year, we have the task of creating a presentation to show to our class, talking about our progress and experiences through the year.
This can involve pretty much any technique I like, whether it be animation, a powerpoint, performance etc.
I have decided I want to make an animation, because I want to keep practicing physically animating, to further explore and show the techniques I have learnt so far.
Since I have mostly been drawing for all the projects set for me this year, I want to use the stop motion technique to complete this presentation; It will allow me to practice using a camera and making models.
So the first thing I have decided to do is some research into other stop motion projects, to see how they are portrayed and will hopefully start generating ideas of my own.
This is the first animation I have found that uses a wooden model:
It has an interesting concept, where the model is interacting with the animator. I could use this to demonstrate how a project sometimes doesn't go to plan, or turn out exactly how you imagined it.
This animation in particular moves very fluently, with a simple concept that is still entertaining to see.
I also like the concept behind this piece:
The worlds smallest animation, made by Aardman, is the film I showed to my class in the introductory week to this course.
Using advertising in the commercial world is a growing industry, and animating for it is increasing in popularity.
